Please slow down the tears. My cup runeth over, and I don't want to waste any.
Pretty sad, you already have a signature for it. Get a life please.
I'm more mad at the fact I didn't get a beta invite. But now they reward the people who did, and continue to spit on the people who didn't get an invite. It has nothing to do with the feat of str.
Kinda irritated by the beta achievement. I was playing under my second batte.net account which I don't normally use for anything. Diablo3 is done under my regular one. :/
there's no upside to this. most people didn't get into beta. some of them may not care, some will be simply aggravated, and others will be pissed off. not all beta participants will even care. some, like me, will be aggravated because i hate this kind of exclusion for others.
this is only gonna be seen as a reward to a small portion of people: beta participants that don't give a damn about other people
The same people who are crying about not getting a meaningless achievement are probably the same people who demand that their last place sports team should get participation medals so they don't feel left out.
Life isn't fair. You don't always win. Learn to live with that now.
No beta tester got anything that will give them an advantage next week. Nobody. Stop crying.

I'm just curious, but what is this "reward" you speak of? A bit of text and an image saying you were in beta that you gain nothing from?
omg you whiner are little babies, jesus. It is REALLY NOTHING. It's little tiny pixels in an imaginary world. I will get it but will I show it...probably not. And really how often are you going to drop an banner or spend time in town stroking you shaft to it? Jesus christ get a girlfriend or something.

Sometimes you don't always know where you stand... until you know that you won't run away.
I'm not the kind of person who feels the need to complete every feat of strength or anything, so I won't try to make a fuss about this. However, I do think it's kind of lame, and I understand why this will be irritating to some. A feat of strength should, in my opinion, be obtainable by everyone who makes a real effort. Getting beta access was pure luck for the vast majority of participants, so it's not really a feat of strength in any way.
But oh well... Grats to those of you who got it, I guess.
Blizzard has two types of rewards like this. Achievements and Feats of Strength. Achievements are things anyone can do. Feats of Stregnth are things that only a limited number can do (like attending blizzcon), things out of the game, or things no longer available. Feats aren't meant to be collected and should never be thought of as such.
The people trying to hide their tears under the veil of "I'm a completionist" are laughable. This isn't some unlock you will see in your achievement list that you can never obtain. There is nothing there for you to try and "complete".
Not to sound preachy, but worry about the things in life (or games) that you can control, don't worry about those you can't. Whining like a child isn't worth your time or emotional state, I hope you can realize this.
I'm honestly surprised by this. People were wanting to keep Overachiever and/or Betamaxed (if only as FoS), and then got told there wouldn't be anything carried over.
As one who participated in the closed beta and earned Overachiever at least twice, I can't complain. I do think that, due to the apparent sensitivity of the subject, Blizzard could and should have communicated better.
Nothing carried over. What more do you want them to clarify and communicate? You can only say nothing in so many ways. The current FoS is a completly different thing then having achievements and characters carry over from Closed Beta.

You say one thing, and then you contradict yourself right after that. If it is not about the Feat of Strength then why are you upset that someone gets a reward? Either you are upset at someone getting a Reward or you are not. You can't have it both ways.
And who cares if you didn't get into the beta. Are you going to whine when someone gets a rare or legendary from their first play through and you didn't? When someone did X before blizzard removed it?

So you are equally against the Reveal site sigils? Since those are exclusive to the launch of Diablo 3. You are against the CE? Because that is exclusive stuff just for the CE. Its a sigil and a Feat of Strength. Why do those matter so much?
people bashing those who don't like this simply don't get it. luckily, i did get into the beta. but this kind of crap aggravated the hell out of me in WoW.
some folks, like me, have mental disorders that makes us want to finish/collect/complete things. it pissed me off to no end in WoW that some things were removed, only offered to certain regions, or whatever else. it could be achievements, pets, mounts...whatever. is it a big deal to normal folks? no, of course not. but there's a lot of gamers with my kind of problem and it's infuriating to not be able to 'get' everything.
please don't hop onto a forum and bash people for something you don't understand. i know there's going to be thousands of players that will be tortured by this. they'll probably get over it eventually (maybe), but that's not the point. this was a bad decision by blizzard. it's only going to please a small portion of beta participants while aggravating many other customers. it makes no sense.

Then don't hop onto a forum and complain that a developer hasn't catered to your mental disorders. You want to be placted at every turn? Create your own game and make your own rules. If you can't handle a few lines of text and a simple image being off limits to you then you should probably seek professional health rather then post on a forum for a video game.
its not areal achievement, the feats f strength are NOT FOR EVERYONE. They just aren't, it is a little something extra for people who wind up doing something extra. Thats like bitching about people who go to blizzcon get a pet for WoW but you didn't get one cause you didn't get to go to blizzcon because they were all sold out because there were people who had multiple accounts to get 'into line' on-line. AGAIN, ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE and ITS NOT MEANT TO BE FOR EVERYONE.

Oh well.
The problem I have there is the poor communication between the developers and the CMs.

this was a bad idea

Please explain. I am actually seriously asking...
